Simona made a blooming card using AALL & Create Shutter Cogs A6 Clear Stamp Set 1227 , AALL & Create Cogs and Curios Rub-ons and Karin Brushmarker PRO mini box .

Andrea made a tag trio featuring images from Dina Wakley’s Bold Botanicals stamp set. The tags themselves are cut with Elizabeth Crafts’ Tag Folding Trio die set. The sentiments are from Tim Holtz’s THMM113 stamp set.

Anna-Karin made a tag with happy yellow flowers on a turquoise background. The flowers were created with Tim Holtz Floral Stencil and the sentiment was die cut with Tim Holtz Handwritten Love die set. The stamped sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Wildflower Cuttings.

Barbara created two tags with very spring colors, using Stamperia Daisy Art A5 Washi Pad Sheets, the Bouquet stencil (mini set 47) from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, various Ranger Ink Distress Ink pads, and a Doll from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology SOLOS PAPER DOLLS pack.

Cheiron created a card for spring with some buds about to bloom! She used the Vicki Boutin Greenery Layers 1 stamps and dies, and stamped them in Simon Says Stamp Versafine Ink in Nocturne. Then she cut them using the coordinating dies. To finish her card she used the Sizzix Vicki Script 1 dies.

Emma feels that spring is in the air and she created a framed panel using Tim Holtz’s Floral Trims stamp set to create her beautiful blooms background. She added the silhouette figures die cut from black card with one of her favourite all time die sets by Sizzix/Tim Holtz, The Park and then completed the panel with a Theories Quote Chip

Kath created a card using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Large Typewriter 3D Texture Fade, Stampers Anonymous Curiosity Shop stamp set, Simon Says Stamp Curiosity Shop co-ordinating dies and Simon Says Stamp Divine Peony and Cosmos Duo dies for the blooms.

Macarena made a very contrasting tag with a rich dark background made with Tim Holtz Distress Mica Stains and placed a lovely red flowers from the 49 and Market Birdsong collection.

Maura played in her Dylusions Creative Journal with the Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Garden stamps, watercolors and Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks. Are those butterflies or fairies flitting among the flowers?

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Studio Light Flowers Essentials Die-Cut Paper Pad on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology MACHINERY HEADS and Tim Holtz idea-ology LABEL STICKERS THOUGHTS.

Zoey used distress Ink and distress oxide for the background, she also added texture paste through a stencil. For her focal point she used Tim Holtz Sizzix Wildflower.

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
